About

Whatnot is a Culver City, California-based live auction and shopping platform — founded in 2019 by Grant LaFontaine (CEO) and Logan Head (COO, both Y Combinator-backed) — operating the largest livestream shopping marketplace in the United States where sellers host live video auction shows for collectibles, trading cards, vintage clothing, sneakers, anime merchandise, and other enthusiast categories, with buyers bidding in real time through a mobile app and web platform. The company has raised $775 million+ in total funding including a $260 million Series E led by DST Global in March 2024, reaching a $3.7 billion post-money valuation. Whatnot connects hundreds of thousands of verified sellers — ranging from casual collectors to professional resellers with dedicated Pokémon card, sports card, and sneaker inventory — with millions of buyers seeking authenticated collectibles and the entertainment experience of competitive live auction bidding. The platform hosts 50,000+ shows per week across categories including trading cards, vintage apparel, toys, anime figurines, concert memorabilia, and video games — creating a continuous live content ecosystem that generates the engagement density that traditional e-commerce platforms cannot match. The platform operates primarily in the United States but launched in Germany and the United Kingdom in 2023, establishing European market presence ahead of TikTok Shop's European expansion into the same live shopping category.

About

Oda Studio is a United States-based AI-powered interior design platform — backed by Y Combinator (W20) — providing homebuyers, renters, and design enthusiasts with AI tools to discover their personal design aesthetic, visualize how spaces would look with different furniture and décor, and find matching products from online retailers. Users select style preferences (mid-century modern, bohemian, minimalist, coastal) and color palettes (navy, salmon, olive, beige) and receive AI-generated moodboards and room transformation visuals in seconds — with the platform linking out to purchasable products that match the visualized design. Founded in 2020 and enhanced with more sophisticated AI algorithms in 2024-2025, Oda Studio serves the design discovery and product-matching need that exists in the early stages of home decorating before interior designers are typically engaged.
